122(h)(1) of CERCLA concerning the
Imel Battery and Lead Site in Fort
Wayne, Indiana which was signed by
the EPA Superfund Division Director,
Region 5, on April 13, 2007. The
settlement resolves EPA’s claim for past
costs under section 107(a) of CERCLA
against Agnes Imel and Tyrone Sanders,
the two current owners of the Site
(Settling Parties).
EPA has determined that the Settling
parties are financially able to pay a
portion of EPA’s past costs if Settling
Parties sell certain real property at the
Site. The settlement requires the
Settling Parties to use their best efforts
to sell the real property at the Site and
to pay to the Hazardous Substances
Superfund a percentage of the proceeds
from the sale of the real estate minus
reasonable closing costs. The payments
are due within 30 days of the transfers.
If both properties sell for approximately
their fair market value, the Settling
Parties’ payments to the Hazardous
Substances Superfund will be
approximately $70,000.
For thirty (30) days following the date
of publication of this notice, the Agency
will receive written comments relating
to the settlement. The Agency will
consider all comments received and
may modify or withdraw its consent to
the settlement if comments received
disclose facts or considerations which
indicate that the settlement is
inappropriate, improper, or inadequate.
The Agency’s response to any comments
received will be available for public
inspection at the Superfund Records
Center, located at 77 West Jackson
Boulevard, Seventh Floor, Chicago,
Illinois.
